So did Alexander the Great's, but he's not considered evil.

Right. The only reason the West has traditionally held up Alexander as a hero and Genghis as a villain is because Alexander was "one of us" and Genghis was not. In Asia, Genghis tends to be held up as a culture hero much the way Alexander is in the West.
Fiction is about good and evil. History rarely is. Most rulers, most nations, are responsible for both good acts and evil acts. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, yet he kept slaves. America spread the principles of democracy and justice, but built the nation through territorial conquest and genocide. Mao Zedong led the revolution to free China from horrible oppression and corruption, but ended up committing even worse oppression and establishing a system that had no mechanism for preventing corruption.
Really, that should've been the lesson for Kirk to teach the Excalbians -- that good and evil are not permanent alignments or inborn character traits, but
that every individual, every culture, faces. The Kirk of the first couple of seasons would've made a speech about how we all have the capacity for both good and evil within us, that it's not a battle of one faction versus another but a battle we wage within ourselves everyday to prevail over our darker natures. Which is a lesson that Surak could've certainly gotten behind.

Letter: The one for me
Rick Stevens, Cape Coral
The one for me
We all recognize the diversity of political opinions these days.
What amazes me is the fear of traditional values and a conservative view of the U.S. Constitution. What is so threatening or fearful about defending individual liberty, freedom of conscience, fiscal responsibility and limited government? These seem to be inherent American values.
So many people have confidence in government to fix our problems. At the same time we see regular reports of government ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Has the Department of Education really improved the education of our children? Has the Department of Energy improved the security of our energy supplies and promoted development of our own natural resources? It's difficult to understand how we can trust the government as we've known it to solve our problems. Those problems have remained unsolved for so many years.
It's an overused expression, but truly it's time for a new normal! We need a return to the time-honored concept of a constitutional republic.
For that reason and others, I'm supporting Byron Donalds in the Republican primary for U.S. House District 19. Byron demonstrates a remarkable grasp of the issues and their solutions. He has both a deep understanding of public policy and a heart to serve the people — not his own interests.
As Byron regularly reminds us: "We have a country to save." I trust Byron to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
I'm voting for him. I hope you will too.

Fort Wayne is a city in the U.S. state of Indiana and the seat of Allen County.[11] Located in northeastern Indiana, the city is 18 miles (29 km) west of the Ohio border[12] and 50 miles (80 km) south of the Michigan border.[13] With an estimated population of 258,522 in 2014, Fort Wayne is the 77th most populous city in the United States[9] and the second largest in Indiana. It is the principal city of the Fort Wayne metropolitan area, consisting of Allen, Wells, and Whitley counties, a combined population of 419,453 as of 2011.[14] In addition to the three core counties, the combined statistical area (CSA) includes Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, and Steuben counties, with an estimated population of 615,077.[14]
Under the direction of American Revolutionary War statesman Anthony Wayne, the United States Army built Fort Wayne last in a series of forts near the Miami tribe village of Kekionga in 1794.[15] Named in Wayne's honor, the settlement established itself at the confluence of the St. Joseph River, St. Marys River, and Maumee River as a trading post for European pioneers.[16] The village was platted in 1823 and experienced tremendous growth after completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal and advent of the railroad.[16] Once a booming manufacturing town located in the Rust Belt, Fort Wayne's economy is based upon distribution, transportation and logistics, healthcare, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and financial services.[17] The city is a center for the defense industry which employs thousands.[18]
Fort Wayne was an All-America City Award recipient in 1982, 1998, and 2009.[19] The city also received an Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1999.[20]
Long occupied by successive cultures of indigenous peoples, the Miami tribe settlement of Kekionga, meaning "blackberry bush,"[21][22] at the confluence of the Maumee, St. Joseph, and St. Marys rivers was the capital of the Miami nation and related Algonquian tribes. In the 1680s, French traders established a post near Kekionga due to its location on a portage between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.[23]
In 1696, Comte de Frontenac appointed Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes as commander of the outpost.[24] The French built Fort Miami in 1697 as part of a group of forts built between Quebec and St. Louis. In 1721, a few years after Bissot's death, Fort Miami was replaced by Fort St. Philippe des Miamis.[25] The first census in 1744 revealed a population of approximately 40 Frenchmen and 1,000 Miamians.[25]
Increasing tension between France and the United Kingdom developed over the territory, and in 1760, the area was ceded to the British Empire after French forces surrendered during the French and Indian War. In 1763, various Native American nations rebelled against British rule and retook the fort as part of Pontiac's Rebellion. The Miami regained control of Kekionga, a rule that lasted for more than 30 years.[25]
In 1790, George Washington ordered the United States Army to secure Indiana Territory. Three battles were fought at Kekionga against Little Turtle and the Miami Confederacy. Miami warriors defeated U.S. forces in the first two battles. Anthony Wayne led a third expedition resulting in the destruction of Kekionga and the start of peace negotiations between Little Turtle and the U.S. After General Wayne refused to negotiate, the tribe advanced to Fallen Timbers where they were defeated on August 20, 1794. On October 22, 1794, U.S. forces captured the Wabash–Erie portage from the Miami Confederacy and built Fort Wayne, named in honor of the general.[26]
The military garrison was discontinued and a federal land office opened to sell land ceded by local Native Americans by the Treaty of St. Mary's in 1819.[27] Platted in 1823, the village became an important frontier outpost, and was incorporated as the Town of Fort Wayne in 1829, with a population of 300.[28] The Wabash and Erie Canal's opening eased travel to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, exposing Fort Wayne to expanded economic opportunities. The population topped 2,000 when the town was incorporated as the City of Fort Wayne on February 22, 1840.[29] Fort Wayne's "Summit City" nickname dates from this period, referring to the city's position at the highest elevation along the canal's route.[16] As influential as the canal was to the city's earliest development, it quickly became obsolete after briefly competing with the city's first railroad, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, completed in 1854.[30]
At the turn of the 20th century, the city's population reached nearly 50,000, attributed to a large influx of German and Irish immigrants. Fort Wayne's "urban working class" thrived in industrial and railroad-related jobs.[31] The city's economy was substantially based on manufacturing, ushering in an era of innovation with several notable inventions and developments coming out of the city over the years, such as gasoline pumps (1885), the refrigerator (1913), breathalyzer (1954), and in 1972, the first home video game console.[32][33] A 1913 flood caused seven deaths, left 15,000 homeless, and damaged over 5,500 buildings in the worst natural disaster in the city's history.[34]
As the automobile's prevalence grew, Fort Wayne became a fixture on the Lincoln Highway.[35] Aviation arrived in 1919 with the opening of the city's first airport, Smith Field. The airport served as Fort Wayne's primary commercial airfield until Baer Field (now Fort Wayne International Airport) was transferred to the city in 1947 after serving as a military base during World War II.[36]
Fort Wayne was hit by the Great Depression beginning in 1929, with most factories cutting their workforce.[37] The stock market crash did not discourage plans to build the city's first skyscraper and Indiana's tallest building at the time, the Lincoln Bank Tower.[38] By 1935, the New Deal's WPA put over 7,000 residents back to work through local infrastructure improvements, including the construction of new parks, bridges, viaducts, and a $5.2 million sewage treatment facility.[39]
The post-World War II economic boom helped the city prosper once again. Between 1950 and 1955, more than 5,000 homes were built, many in large subdivisions in rural Allen County.[40] In 1950, Fort Wayne's first bypass, Coliseum Boulevard, opened on the north side of the city, followed by the city's first arena, War Memorial Coliseum, bringing new opportunities for suburban expansion.[41] The Coliseum was home to the NBA's Fort Wayne Pistons from 1952 to 1957. The opening of enclosed shopping malls and the construction of Interstate 69 through rural areas north and west of the city proper further drove the exodus of retail from downtown through the 1960s.[42] According to the Fort Wayne Home Builders Association estimates, more than 80 percent of new home construction occurred outside the city proper in the 1970s.[43]
Like many cities in the Rust Belt, deindustrialization in the 1980s brought urban blight, increased crime, and a decrease in blue-collar manufacturing jobs.[44] Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods continued declining as residents and businesses sprawled further into rural Allen County.[45] A 1982 flood forced an evacuation of 9,000 residents, damaging 2,000 buildings, and costing $56.1 million (1982 USD, $137 million 2015 USD).[46][47]
The 1990s marked a turnaround for the city, as local leaders focused on crime reduction, economic diversification, and downtown redevelopment. By 1999, Fort Wayne's crime rate decreased to levels not seen since 1974, and the city's economy recovered, with the unemployment rate hovering at 2.4 percent in 1998.[48] Clearing blighted buildings downtown resulted in new public greenspaces, including Headwaters Park, which has become the premier community gathering space and centerpiece in the city's $50 million flood control project. Fort Wayne celebrated its bicentennial in 1994.[49][50]
The city continued to concentrate on downtown redevelopment and investment in the 2000s.[51] The decade saw the beginnings of its transformation, with renovations and expansions of the Allen County Public Library, Grand Wayne Convention Center, and Fort Wayne Museum of Art. In 2007, the $130 million Harrison Square development was launched, creating Parkview Field.[52] Suburban growth continued, with the opening of Fort Wayne's first lifestyle center, Jefferson Pointe, and the half-billion dollar Parkview Regional Medical Center in 2012.[53]
Fort Wayne is in the East North Central region of the Midwestern United States, in northeastern Indiana, 18 miles (29 km) west of Ohio and 50 miles (80 km) south of Michigan. According to the 2010 census, Fort Wayne has a total area of 110.834 square miles (287.06 km2), of which 110.62 square miles (286.50 km2) (or 99.81%) is land and 0.214 square miles (0.55 km2) (or 0.19%) is water.[54]
For a regional summit, the city is situated on flat land characterized by little topographical relief, a result of the Wisconsin glaciation episode.[55] Receding glaciers eroded the land, depositing an evenly distributed layer of sediment during the Ice Age. The most distinguishable topographical feature is Cedar Creek Canyon, just north of the city proper near Huntertown.[55] The Fort Wayne Moraine follows two of the city's three rivers: the St. Marys and St. Joseph. The two converge to form the Maumee River, which eventually empties into Lake Erie. Land east of the moraine includes the former Great Black Swamp, a lacustrine plain formed by Glacial Lake Maumee. The city lies along the St. Lawrence Continental Divide which separates the Great Lakes Basin from the Gulf of Mexico watershed.
Fort Wayne's urban tree canopy is 29 percent, double the state average of 14.5 percent[56] and above the national average of 27.1 percent.[57] The canopy is decreasing, notably from development and the emerald ash borer infestation.[56] Fort Wayne has been designated a Tree City USA since 1990.[58]
Historically, Fort Wayne has been divided into four unofficial quadrants: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. Calhoun Street divides the southwest and southeast, while the St. Joseph River divides the northwest and northeast quadrants. The Maumee River separates the northeast and southeast, while portions of the St. Marys River and Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad separate the northwest and southwest quadrants.[59]
Fort Wayne's early-20th century development was influenced by the City Beautiful movement and centered on a "park and boulevard plan" conceived by urban planner Charles Mulford Robinson in 1909 and finalized by landscape architect George Kessler in 1912. The master plan proposed a network of parkways and boulevards connecting the city's three rivers and Spy Run Creek to dozens of neighborhoods and parks. Several parks were designed by noted landscape architect Arthur Asahel Shurcliff. Much of the original plan was implemented by 1955. In 2010, the Fort Wayne Park and Boulevard System was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, consisting of 11 public parks, four parkways, and ten boulevards, covering 1,883 acres (8 km2).[60][61]
During the 19th century, Fort Wayne was dominated by Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Italianate architecture. Examples of Greek Revival architecture remain in the city, with one being the Richardville House (1827), a National Historic Landmark. Gothic and Gothic Revival architecture can be found in some of the city's most prominent churches, including Trinity English Lutheran Church (1846), Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (1860), Trinity Episcopal Church (1865), and Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church (1889).[62]
Popular early-20th century architectural styles found in the city include Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Neoclassical, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Prairie, American Craftsman, American Foursquare, and Art Deco. Richardsonian Romanesque buildings include Fort Wayne City Hall (1893) and John H. Bass Mansion (1902), each designed by Wing & Mahurin. Notable examples of Neoclassical architecture include the Masonic Temple (1926) and North Side High School (1927). Beaux-Arts, an architectural style closely related to Neoclassical, gained popularity during the City Beautiful movement of the 1890s and early 1900s, which is reflected in the Allen County Courthouse (1902).[62] The Allen County Courthouse is one of two National Historic Landmarks in the city. The Pennsylvania Railroad Station, also known as Baker Street Station (1914), was designed in American Craftsman style. At 312 feet (95 m), the Art Deco-style Lincoln Bank Tower was Fort Wayne's first high-rise and Indiana's tallest building from 1930–1962.[62] The E. Ross Adair Federal Building and United States Courthouse (1932) is another example of Art Deco architecture. Williams-Woodland Park Historic District includes examples of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival residential homes,[63] while the Forest Park Boulevard Historic District includes Tudor Revival homes.[62]
Modern and Postmodern architecture can be found in buildings constructed during the second half of the 20th century in Fort Wayne. The John D. Haynes House (1952) was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, while the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary (1953) was designed by Eero Saarinen. Postmodern architect Michael Graves' first commissions were built in the city, including Hanselmann House (1967) and Snyderman House (1972, now demolished).[64] Louis Kahn's design for the Arts United Center (1973) was inspired by a violin and its case.[65] Other notable buildings include Indiana Michigan Power Center (1982), the tallest building in the city and tallest building in Indiana outside of Indianapolis, at 442 feet (135 m).[66]
Fort Wayne lies in the humid continental climate zone (Köppen: Dfa), experiencing four distinct seasons.[67] The city is located in USDA hardiness zones 5b and 6a.[68] Typically, summers are hot, humid, and wet. Winters are generally cold with moderate snowfall. The average annual precipitation is 37.34 in (948 mm), recorded at Fort Wayne International Airport. During the winter season, snowfall accumulation averages 33.5 in (85 cm) per year. Lake-effect snow is not uncommon to the region, but usually appears in the form of light snow flurries.

The snowiest month on record was January 2014, with 30 in (76 cm) of snowfall.[71] The greatest 24-hour snowfall was 13.6 in (35 cm) on March 10, 1964.[72]
Severe weather is not uncommon, particularly in the spring and summer months; the city experiences an average of 39 thunderstorm days and about 10 severe weather days annually.[73] An EF2 tornado struck northern Fort Wayne on May 26, 2001, injuring three and causing damage along the Coliseum Boulevard corridor and a subdivision.[74] Fort Wayne experienced 91 mph (146 km/h) wind gusts in the June 2012 North American derecho, knocking out power to 78,000, uprooting approximately 500 trees,[75] and costing $2.5 million.[76]

Fort Wayne's Reform Judaism population is served by Congregation Achduth Vesholom, the oldest Jewish congregation in Indiana, founded in 1848.[91] In 2013, construction began on the first Burmese Muslim mosque to be built worldwide since the mid-1970s.[92]
As of December 2012, four national Christian denominations were headquartered in the city, including the American Association of Lutheran Churches, Fundamental Baptist Fellowship Association, Missionary Church, and Fellowship of Evangelical Churches. Fort Wayne is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend, covering 14 counties in Northern Indiana, and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod Indiana District, encompassing all of Indiana and north central Kentucky.
Manufacturing is deeply rooted in Fort Wayne's economic history, dating to the earliest days of the city's growth as an important trade stop along the Wabash and Erie Canal. Railroads, introduced shortly after the canal's arrival, eased travel from Fort Wayne to other booming industrial centers along the Great Lakes, such as Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland. Throughout the early and mid-20th century, manufacturing dominated the city's economic landscape. From 1900 to 1930, Fort Wayne's industrial output expanded by 747 percent, with total production valued at $95 million in 1929, up from $11 million in 1899.[93] The total workforce also increased from 18,000 in 1900 to nearly 50,000 in 1930.[93]
The 1970s and 1980s were times of economic depression in Fort Wayne, when much of the city's manufacturing foundation eroded and the blue-collar workforce shrank. Fort Wayne joined several other cities reeling economically within the Rust Belt.[94] At the same time, General Electric also downsized much of its more than 10,000-person workforce.[95] Amid other area plant closures and downsizing, coupled with the early 1980s recession, the city lost 30,000 jobs and reached a 12.1 percent unemployment rate.[96] The arrival of General Motors in 1987 helped fill the void from shuttered manufacturers and aided in the area's recovery, employing 3,000 at its Fort Wayne Assembly.[97]
Through the 1990s and into the 2000s, the city diversified its economy; manufacturing now employs 16.9 percent of Allen County's workforce.[17] Other sectors include distribution, transportation, and logistics (23.1 percent), health care (17.9 percent), professional and business services (12.1 percent), leisure and hospitality (11.1 percent), and financial services (6.3 percent).[17] The leisure and hospitality sector has especially grown, with 5.8 million visitors spending $545 million in 2013, a 4.3 percent increase over the previous year.[98] The city is a center for the defense industry, employing thousands at such companies as BAE Systems (1,150), Harris Corporation (888), Raytheon Systems (950), and the Fort Wayne Air National Guard Station (423).[18] In 2013, the county's workforce was 175,306 with an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent.[17][99]

I-69 runs south to Indianapolis and north to the Canada–United States border at Port Huron, Michigan. Four U.S. Routes bisect the city, including US 24, US 27, US 30, and US 33. Five Indiana State Roads also meet in the city, including State Road 1, State Road 3, State Road 14, State Road 37, and State Road 930. Airport Expressway, a four-lane divided highway, links Fort Wayne International Airport directly to I-69.[192] About 85 percent of residents commute alone by personal vehicle, while another eight percent carpool.[193]
Unlike most cities comparable to its size, Fort Wayne does not have an urban freeway system. In 1946, planners proposed a $27 million federally-funded freeway, crossing east-west and north-south through downtown.[194] Opponents successfully campaigned against the proposal, objecting to the demolition of nearly 1,500 homes at the time of the post-World War II housing shortage, while playing on fears that the project would force displaced minorities into white neighborhoods.[195][196] In 1947, Fort Wayne residents voted down the referendum that would have allowed for its construction, dubbed the Anthony Wayne Parkway.[197] Beginning in 1962, construction commenced for I-69 in suburban Fort Wayne.[198][43]
The I-469 beltway around the southern and eastern fringes of Fort Wayne and New Haven was constructed between 1988 and 1995 as the largest public works project in Allen County history, at $207 million.[197]
Amtrak's Capitol Limited (Chicago—Washington, D.C.) is the closest passenger rail service to Fort Wayne, located 25 miles (40 km) north at Waterloo Station. There has been a movement to bring direct passenger rail service back in the form of Amtrak or high-speed rail service.[199] In 2013, a feasibility study was published outlining the impacts of a proposed Columbus—Fort Wayne—Chicago high-speed rail corridor. At 300 miles (480 km), the route would cost $1.29 billion and generate some $7.1 billion in economic benefits to the region.[200] Freight service is provided by a class I railroad (Norfolk Southern) and two class III railroads (CSX Transportation).[201] Fort Wayne is headquarters and main operations hub of Norfolk Southern's Triple Crown Services subsidiary, the largest truckload shipper in the U.S.[201]
Fort Wayne's mass transit system is managed by the Fort Wayne Public Transportation Corporation (Citilink), providing 12 bus routes through the cities of Fort Wayne and New Haven via downtown's Central Station.[202] CampusLink debuted in 2009 as a free shuttle service for students, faculty, and general public traveling between Ivy Tech's Coliseum and North campuses, IPFW and its student housing on the Waterfield Campus, and shopping and residential areas.[203] MedLink debuted in 2013 connecting Parkview Regional Medical Center with Parkview Health's Randallia campus.[204] Despite annual ridership of 2.2 million,[203] less than one percent of residents commute by public transportation.[193] Fort Wayne is served by two intercity bus providers: Greyhound Lines (Indianapolis—Toledo—Detroit) and Lakefront Lines (Chicago—Columbus—Akron).[205]
Fort Wayne is served by six hospitals; Dupont Hospital, Lutheran Hospital of Indiana, Parkview Regional Medical Center, Parkview Hospital Randallia, Rehabilitation Hospital of Fort Wayne, and St. Joseph Hospital, encompassing over 1,463 patient beds.[88] These six hospitals belong to either of the two health networks serving the region: Parkview Health System or Lutheran Health Network. As of 2014, both healthcare systems were the city's first and second largest employers, respectively, with a total of 9,011 employees. [206] VA Northern Indiana Health Care System's Fort Wayne Campus provides medical services through the Department of Veterans Affairs.[207]
Water and sewage treatment are municipal services.[208] The City of Fort Wayne supplies residents with 72 million US gallons (270,000 m3) of water per day via the Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant and St. Joseph River.[209] Private utility providers serving residents include Indiana Michigan Power (electricity); Northern Indiana Public Service Company (natural gas); Republic Services (curbside recycling and solid waste collection);[208] and Frontier Communications and Comcast (telecommunications and television).
Hurshtown Reservoir, in northeast Allen County, contains 1.8 billion US gallons (6,800,000 m3) of water to be rationed in the event of a drought or disaster at the three rivers.[210]
Fort Wayne has four sister cities as designated by Sister Cities International:[211]

The Bragernes Church Youth Choir from Drammen, Norway to Perform at St. Bart's, 6/24
The Bragernes Church Youth Choir from Drammen, Norway will present a free impromptu concert at St. Bartholomew's Church on Tuesday, June 24 at 12:30 pm.
Bragernes Church Youth Choir is comprised of 30 girls between the ages of 14 and 19. The Youth Choir present regular concerts and hold annual tours both in Norway and abroad. The Choir have performed in Vienna, Stockholm, Reykjavik, Paris and London as well as in a host of Norwegian towns.
The repertoire of the choir is drawn mainly from classical music as well as Norwegian folk songs. In March 2007 the Youth Choir, together with the Girls Choir, were invited to perform the premiere of a commissioned work portraying the story of the patron saint of Drammen and Oslo, St Hallvard. The performance formed part of the Oslo International Festival of Church Music. Performances of the work were presented both in Trefoldighets Church in Oslo and in Bragernes Church, Drammen. This gave the choir members the opportunity of participating in a production which was brought to life through singing, dance and costume drama. The Youth Choir went on to make a CD recording of the St. Hallvard work during the Autumn of 2009.
In 2013, the 20th anniversary of Bragernes Church Youth Choir has been celebrated with a number of concerts in Norway and a concert tour to Brighton, London.
At. St. Bartholomew's Church, the choir will be conducted by Beate Strømme Fevang, who has been the conductor of the choir since 1993. She studied church music and pedagogy at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo.
This free concert will take place at St. Bartholomew's Church at the corner of Park Avenue and 51st Street. Subway: 6 to 51st Street. For more information, call (212) 378-0222 or visit www.stbarts.org.

Denver by way of the Aurora Borealis
I keep running into the aurora borealis. This morning it popped up as a gaming locale in the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. While colorful, I'll admit the display was a bit on the static side.
I'm headed to Denver to the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) in nearby Boulder today to attend a conference for new media folks on a wide variety of space topics by a great lineup of speakers. Presentations include the moons of Mars, the Kuiper Belt, lunar dust, the aerospace industry and what makes a planet a planet. The last will be given by none other than Alan Stern, the principal investigator for the New Horizons mission to Pluto. You'll all recall that Pluto was "demoted" to dwarf planet status in 2006.
The new definition has three criteria – to qualify as a planet the object must orbit the sun (or star), have enough mass to crush itself into a spherical shape and be the dominate body in its orbital neighborhood. Pluto scores well on the first two but fails the third because there are lots of other mini-Plutos (even a few maxi-Plutos) along the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt where Pluto resides.
I hope to learn a lot, ask a few burning questions and have a blast. Our group includes 16 other science media writers/bloggers/video people from around the country. I'll share my experiences later this weekend through pictures and words.
9 Responses
Bob, have a great time at LASP. Be sure to check out the main lobby with all sorts of backup spacecraft, including Mariner 6 (or is it 7?).
My favorite food around here is the Wild Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery up the road in Nederland – great ribs and their own beer. If you do head up to the hills, drop me a note and we can look poke around with my 12-inch newly recoated newt. I'm at 9000 feet just half an hour from Boulder! Up here we call 80 degrees hot, and a foot of snow a trace.

Frontier sells building, becomes a tenant
The buyer is 1800 41st Street LLC, a Delaware corporation newly registered in Washington and named for the address of twin office buildings, which have been a regional telecommunications office since they were built in the 1980s.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the property, near I-5 and Evergreen Cemetery, has a county-assessed value of about $54.7 million.
Jones Lang LaSalle, a national commercial real estate firm which has a Seattle office, represented Frontier and will lease 165,000 square feet that comprise one of two towers to Frontier and the other tower, of 125,000 square feet, to other tenants.
"We are extremely pleased to invest in this asset, and look forward to acquiring other quality properties here in the Seattle area," said Alex Sassoon, one of the buyer's partners, in a written statement issued by Jones Lang LaSalle. Sassoon was not further identified in the news release.
The buildings were built for GTE in 1981 when GTE was the Everett area's primary telephone provider. Verizon later acquired GTE and in 2010 sold its landline assets to Frontier.
Not surprisingly, the complex "has a robust telecom connectivity and redundant emergency building systems," Jones Lang LaSalle said.

THE VERY BEST! Dr Justiz was thorough in my diagnosis. He is compassionate, took time to listen, explained my condition to me and what the prognosis is. He takes time with each patient - not the usual 10 minutes that so many physicians do today. He rates a "10" from me. His staff is great also. They are busy, but take time with each patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Justiz

Even though the office is very busy, Dr. Justiz is on time or within 10 minutes of appointed time. He listens and answers questions thoroughly. He is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I feel very secure knowing he is my neurologist and have recommended him to others. They have told me that they feel the same about his competence and compassion.

Based on my experience, the black and white lasts longer than color. I've used Polaroid 107 (which begat 667, which FP-300B is a clone of) from 1971, and while it was obviously expired, the chemicals still spread. It seems like the dyes in the color films eventually break down to where they don't transfer from the negative to the paper, causing a loss of the positive, or a strange orange-colored positive. This might not be the case with Fuji, but it hasn't been in the US long enough for me to test that.
Another advantage with the Fuji films that might increase longevity is the fact that they are packed in all-foil bags. Older Polaroid films were packed in foil-lined paper, which was slightly porous and allowed moisture to slowly escape. Fuji films are packaged in plastic-lined foil, which might lead to more moisture retention.
When all is said and done, I figure you can get at least 10 years out of the color film, and 20 from the black and white.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A quick wrist shot by Troy Brouwer into the upper-left corner of the net ended the torture.
For over 55 minutes, Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne tortured the Capitals by turning aside everything — whether he saw it or not. This should've been it, a victory earned by stellar goaltending and timely offense.
It wasn't. Just 28 seconds later, the score was tied again — when the Caps stopped skating.
"From winning to losing. From putting ourselves in an unbelievable spot to win a hockey game to scrambling," right wing Troy Brouwer said. "And even though the game was tied, you lose the momentum like that, you feel like you're behind."
It only took a few more minutes for the Caps to actually be behind, with another defensive breakdown paving the way for a 3-1 loss on Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena. Counting a shootout defeat to the Devils, it's the Caps' fourth loss in five games and sixth in their past nine.
The Caps, almost to a man, were at a loss to explain how they let this one slip away.
"This is a tough one to take," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "I thought for 56 minutes, we played as good as we can play. We scored the goal and in the last two periods we totally, I thought, dominated, and then we scored the goal to take the lead and we stopped playing. What are you going to say?"
Boudreau did say that the Caps stopped skating on the goal that cost them the lead. Players wondered if the play was offside as Ryan Suter carried the puck over the blue line. While the Caps pulled up and at least hesitated, Shea Weber streaked down the wing and eventually fed the puck to Martin Erat for the equalizer.
"I think all the guys on the ice thought it was offside, so they stopped playing," Boudreau said. "And [the Predators] didn't stop playing. That's why you have to play to the whistle. Just looking at the replay, guys were putting up their hands and they stopped skating, and they kept coming. That's why it looked so easy."
That was just the start of what turned out to be shocking late-game collapse. With under a minute left, a strong forecheck by Colin Wilson helped expose the Caps' defense. John Erskine followed the Nashville forward into the corner and lost his stick; in the meantime Dennis Wideman and a backchecking Jason Chimera failed to pick up Erat — or anyone.
When the puck made it back to Erat at the side of the net, Tomas Vokoun had to turn and face him; Wilson made it to the net past four Caps players unabated to put the puck in with just 24.3 seconds left.
"I even don't know what really happened on the second goal, why the guy was all alone in front of the net. There was actually two guys — the guy who make that deke and went behind the net was by himself for a second," Vokoun said. "It was basically one against four of our guys coming into the zone. We can't blame anybody but ourselves. We basically give them the win."
Added Erat: "I don't know what the defense was doing there, and Willy gave me a great puck down low, and I was by myself in front of the net. Willy was coming he was almost two-on-none; I don't know what happened there, it was just probably their mistake on the defense."
It was a costly series of mistakes in the final minutes that wasted what was an excellent defensive effort that included 28 saves by Vokoun.

After immigrating to Seattle in 1977, Luigi amassed experience in both cooking and business while working at a handful of the city's Italian restaurants. In 1989, he opened Al Boccalino, where tables covered in white linen host plates of hearty Italian fare. Since then, Luigi has expanded his oeuvre to include cooking classes as well as a second, more casual eatery, Café Bengodi.

Sumitomo HTR Z III Tire
Sumitomo HTR Z 111 is a low cost maximum performance summer tire. People who own this tire all have very similar comments. The main one being that dry pavement traction is very good for this tire and you can't beat the price versus performance ratio.
One guy with a 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 say's the Sumitomo's are smooth quiet and have a very low wear rate. He also felt they were more than adequate for the street but if you want a high-performance tire for the track you would need to step up to Michelin's PS2 or something else.
Although another guy said maybe we should quit calling these cheap tires. He said he just replaced his Pilot PS2's and these tires feel just as good. At first he was hesitant to buy the Sumitomo's but says now he would definitely buy them again.
One thing to remember is don't let the price fool you, for example, if you check the prices, Sumitomo's HTR Z 111 against Goodyear's EMT you'll find that the Goodyear's are twice as much money and the Sumitomo's are rated in the middle of the maximum performance summer tire category and the Goodyear's are at the bottom of the category dead last. So price doesn't mean anything other than one costs more than the other.
